There are a lot of reasons to be excited as the Hurricanes prepare to make a run at the Stanley Cup, but there are still some glaring issues that the team will need to solve before then.
At the time of writing this, the Hurricanes currently lead the Metropolitan division with 102 points, and later tonight will have a huge matchup with the second-place New York Rangers. The Rangers have 104 points in the same amount of games played, meaning that next week’s contest could very well decide the division.
There are just 7 games remaining in the regular season, and expectations are high for the Hurricanes entering the playoffs.
